ROCKY ROAD This is a super people friendly dog, he is great with men, women & older children. He wags his whole bum back and forth nearly folding in half when his foster dad comes home. Ideally he would be placed in a home with children 10 or older since he might knock over a small child out of sheer exuberance. Currently he is being fostered with 3 young border collies and is getting along very well with all them even the crazy herding one. Cats invoke quite a reaction at first but he listens well when told to leave them alone. He walks fairly well on a regular leash and an extensi-leash but needs A LOT of work on his recall. At night time he enjoys cuddling on the sofa with his foster mom and slowly works his way onto her lap along with whichever toy he has at that moment. Yes, he loves all toys, plush toys, tennis balls, soccer balls, frisbees, kongs, wubbas, you name it, he'll play with it. But he will also try and sneak a shoe or pillow to play with and to him ALL plush toys are doggie toys. Rocky Road is really a wonderful dog that would make a superb addition to an active home.

Jarro is a independent boy who has has some training. He can be quite vocal at times and does not seems to be a cuddler. He will require a home that is very active due to his breed traits. Jarro would thrive in obedience school and agility classes. A fenced yard would be a bonus, and he will need to go to a home with children older then 10. Jarro loves frisbees, balls, running, and all the fun things active dogs love to do!

My name is DRAKE. I am a neutered male, blue merle Australian Shepherd and Beagle about 8 years old.
Drake is a very friendly dog. His owner could no longer keep him as she was moving into an apartment and Drake can be very vocal. He is very clean in his kennel. He needs to lose a few pounds.

I loved them, the others, the ones who left me,
But I wasn't good enough for they didn't want me.
Will you add to my baggage?
Will you help me unpack?
Or will you just look at my things and take me right back?


Do you have the time to help me unpack?
To put away my baggage,
To never repack?
I pray that you do-I'm so tired you see,
But I do come with baggage

The Meaning Of Rescue

Now that I'm home, bathed, settled and fed,
All nicely tucked in my warm new bed,
I'd like to open my baggage lest I forget,
There is so much to carry
So much to regret.


Hmm yes, there it is, right on top;
Let's unpack Loneliness, Heartache and Loss,
And there by my leash hides Fear and Shame.
As I look on these things I tried so hard to leave
I still have to unpack my baggage called Pain.
Will you still want me?
